US Politics
Hi, All,
I have genuinely high hopes for a productive conversation here on QOTO.
Putting aside the base hatred of things that are different (e.g., I hate President Obama because he has Black Skin; I hate President Trump because he has Orange Skin; I hate President Clinton because he is a Cisgendered horndog; I hate President Trump because he is a Cisgendered horndog...)
Is there a basis for all of the personality bashing other than the Left hates the Right and the Right hates the Left?
Is it naive to advocate for a Political Process that discusses policy affecting those being represented or do we simply invent technology that permits policy to be decided by determining who shouts the loudest?

@williamlweaver re: Basis? Much of it has to do with political identity. We're wet-wired to hate out-groups and defend in-groups regardless of right/wrong.
re: advocating policy: IMHO we need to take an evidence based approach but that directly clashes with with the above. Until we find a practical solution to the above, I'll support your advocacy. That probably makes me naive though :)
